"Expensive" is a relative term. How much a person spends on a trip depends on that person's particular travel style. "Luxury" travel to a so called inexpensive destination can cost way more than "frugal" travel to an otherwise expensive country.
That said, here are some of the most expensive countries (listed in no particular order) I've visited:
Switzerland
Denmark
Norway
Singapore
Hong Kong
Bermuda
Dubai
Japan
New Zealand
Denmark
Iceland
All were "worth it".

While RoamsAround is correct for most countries, Bhutan has a minimum amount per day that you have to spend, otherwise no visa.

Also, if you want to eat and drink in Switzerland, you are going to find the prices high unless you bring a picnic with you.

Well I stayed with friends so it wasn't too terrible for me, but I think Switzerland would be considered the "most expensive country" I have visited myself. And yes we 'picniced' & cooked at home & ate street foods & hit farmers markets & drank local wine to mitigate expenses.
And YES, it was most definitely worth every last CHF!!!

The US, if that counts. I haven't seen any other country where hostel bunks routinely start at $50/nt.
Otherwise, Iceland is not cheap. Food- even convenience store food- is pricy. And transportation is also pricy.

Bergen, Norway.
Extremely high cost for food. We went out to a coffee shop (5 of us) and minimal order of coffee, pastries was close to $160. I stayed with my daughter (they were living there) and her family so that wasn't an issue.

I would first define "expensive". It all depends on our budget and what you get for with your money.
in some destinations, the accomodation can be expensive, but then food and drinks can be affordable and viceversa.
In my opinion, Dubai is a very expensive city.
